Travels and Travails
So I have to say that I had a fabulous time in Denver hanging out with Anne and Janiece and Jeri. What I enjoyed the most was the opportunity to talk and laugh and relax and be silly. It allowed me to come back to work today feeling far more capable and personable than I [...]

Footloose and Fancy Free
I discovered some time ago that I am somewhat of an outlier among the UCF Trollops–I do not have an obsession with footwear. Yes, I find it important, and I am willing to spend money on shoes, but that’s because I want shoes that are comfortable, and because many shoes hurt my feet, I will [...]

Denver
We arrived in Denver safely yesterday, as did Jeri. Trollopy things were done, and although pictures were taken, I have not yet downloaded any pictures (I’ve got the netbook instead of the laptop, and installed Gimp only yesterday)
Today is the day of relaxation at the spa. Michael will nose in his have his nose in [...]

The Wonders of Modern Travel
Well, we’re back at the Charlotte airport, waiting to go on to Denver. Flight is booked, near us are two children running around very loudly.
Wish us luck!

Delayed in Charlotte
Due to problems with the plane, we are spending the night in Charlotte instead of Anne’s house in Denver.
But, I’m on vacation, and Michael is with me, so it’s okay.

Happy Birthday Michael!
I really hope you like your birthday present, since I came up with the idea more than a year ago.
No pressure!

Got Guns?
Regarding the “carry your guns across the country” bill that was defeated today, I have to say that as much as I believe in a liberal reading of the second amendment, I think that being able to conceal carry anywhere in the US because you have a permit in one state is a poor idea.

Dear Amazon
Thank you for the books!
I didn’t order them, though they were on my wish list, and there wasn’t a packing slip, so I’m just assuming Amazon decided I needed more books. (I DO!)
YAY!
And THANKS!
Wednesday! We Will Associate!
Ready? Set? Associate!

Tasty Tuesday: Zucchini Bread
The Farmer’s Market had zucchini this week, so I decided to make zucchini bread. I tried the recipe in the King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking book.
What was interesting was that the loaf with nuts turned out much paler than the loaf without nuts. Considering that the recipe called for nuts (and raisins which I [...]

When I Was a Child
I fully expect this week to be just as rough as every other week this summer. However, I am looking forward to Friday, when I get to escape for awhile.
In the mean time, another game of sorts.
When I was a child:
Pluto was a planet
You had to lick stamps

Sunday Flower Pr0n
I have Black Eyed Susans along the driveway where the bulbs come up in the spring. It works out quite well, since they black eyed susan foliage comes up just as the leaves of the bulbs are starting to die.
It is somewhat amazing this bee could even fly.
I still have some day lilies blooming.
Firecracker flower [...]

Tasty Tuesday: The All American Dessert Book
Tasty Tuesday: The All-American Dessert Book by Nancy Baggett
As I’ve repeatedly whined, I’ve been too busy to do much of anything recently, and unfortunately, that includes cooking and baking–I haven’t made anything since my birthday. Boo!
So lacking anything of my own for you today, I want to tell you about one of my favorite cook [...]
